Kayo Tokugawa's curiosity is heavy.

It was the first time she had seen that kind of black iron bump could produce such great power and lethality, so she couldn't help but ask with the curiosity in her heart.

Originally, she thought that this young highness would not answer her.

After all, a weapon of such great power must be a very secret thing.

In fact, after Tokugawa Kayo asked this sentence, she regretted it a little.

Although she is not very old, she also understands very well that there are some things that she cannot know.

Like what...... This powerful weapon.

Something like this, in all fairness, would be kept very secretive if it was in your own hands.

Because that's the foundation of life.

Unexpectedly, she thought it was impossible to answer this question, but Zhao Hongyu actually answered.

"Grenades!"

Nani, what is a grenade?

Although Tokugawa Kayo heard the name, she was still very confused.

Seriously, there are many of these things that this Highness has used, which she has never seen.

Even the weapons she had seen were much better than what she knew.

"Well, this question is a bit troublesome to explain, anyway, you know that the name of this weapon is called a grenade, as for the rest, I will have a chance to explain it to you later, after all, now is not the time to talk about this matter."

At this time, the frontal front has gradually stabilized, so Zhao Hongyu is in a very good mood.

With such momentum, the enemy will no longer be able to shake the defensive line.

And for a while, the enemy will definitely have to retreat.

By the time of early morning now, more than an hour has passed.

Although it was not very long, during this time, the crusading army had lost more than two thousand men.

Such a loss is really huge.

Rao is a wind servant and Ishida are in harmony. They are also a little unacceptable.

You must know that yesterday they lost more than 2,000 troops, and today they have lost more than 2,000 people.

In other words, in just over a day, their battle losses have exceeded half of their troops.

If this kind of fight continues, it is not impossible for the entire army to be annihilated.

Moreover, the losses of the crusaders are basically infantry, and the infantry is used exclusively as submachine cannon fodder.

Now in this situation, it can be said that the infantry is basically disabled.

If you want to continue fighting, then let the cavalry take the lead every time.

Compared to infantry. The cavalry here in the Wa Kingdom is very valuable.

This is no different from the Ming Dynasty.

Because there are no horses on the Wa side, and the equipment of the cavalry is very difficult to build.

Therefore, the money spent on training a cavalryman can almost feed a dozen infantrymen.

And in more than a day, the cavalry of the Horse Regiment and the Single Wave Corps also lost a lot, and such losses were unbearable for the Wind Squire.

He had to think about the people in his territory, and he couldn't let them all die here.

As for the Tajima Regiment, which no longer has a feudal lord, their dead and alive servants have to take care of it.

After all. If you don't think about them, those people will riot if they don't do it.

"Ishida-kun, the stamina of the ashigaru is already insufficient, and I think it's only a matter of time before they retreat.。 When the wind squire saw the battle situation on the other side, his heart was already cold.

Originally, it was good, but I saw that the ashigaru were about to break through the opponent's defense line and then crush the enemy army.

But I don't know how to do it. I don't know what weapons the enemy used.

actually let those charging ashigaru people turn on their backs, and they were repulsed a lot of distance again.

And the ashigaru, who originally had high morale, their courage and morale also dropped to the freezing point.

In such a state of mind. It was impossible for them to continue fighting.

Ishida had also been keeping an eye on the battlefield, and he very much agreed with Kazeshi's judgment.

Therefore, he nodded to the Wind Squire, "Yes, today we failed again. Moreover, we have suffered considerable losses, and if we continue in this fight, it is not impossible that we will be completely annihilated. ”

Ishida Aido was more pessimistic than Kazeshi.

"The enemy's artillery still exists, and it seems that Houtian's sneak attack yesterday was a complete failure." , Feng Shi mentioned the guy Houtian and said his own little guess.

Actually, this thing can be known with the ass.

If Goda had succeeded, it would have been impossible for the enemy on the opposite side to use artillery today.

As he spoke, the ashigaru retreated.

For such a result, the wind attendant and Ishida Aido were very helpless, but they had to accept it.

"Now there are not many ashigaru left, the rest of us are basically cavalry, and there are a lot of enemy cavalry, we are still at a disadvantage, do you have any ideas now?"

The Wind Squire looked at the corpses all over the battlefield and asked in distress.

Ishida thought for a moment: "Let's ask the shogunate for help, I originally said in my letter to the shogunate that these foreigners are definitely not ordinary enemies. But I don't know what those people in the Shogunate of Ludao think, they actually sent you and Takahashi to crusade against them, and no one knew that these people actually had reinforcements of 2,000 cavalry. ”

When Ishida said this, his face was not very good-looking.

"We've never seen the weapons used by the enemy, and this battle is impossible without figuring them out. And I mean, do we ask the shogunate to send other reinforcements? ”

Kazeshi turned his head sideways to look at Ishida.

Ishida nodded: "We have no other way, I can tell you the truth, these foreigners are very strong in the field, and you have experienced the battle yesterday and today." It's not that I grow the ambition of others and destroy my own prestige, we are really not the opponents of others. ”

Ishida Hedao was completely convinced by Zhao Hongyu and them.

Originally, he thought that he could take them down in one fell swoop today, but he didn't think that they were still abused characters today.

Yesterday with superior forces was not done, and now that so many soldiers have been lost, it is even more impossible.

The plan for the present is to withdraw from the battlefield as soon as possible. Find a place to rest and ask the shogunate for help.

According to Ishida Aido's idea, it would be absolutely impossible to deal with these enemies without an absolute superiority of 30,000 troops.

The other party fought one battle with himself, and fought two battles with the crusading army, each time winning more with less.

It's definitely not a matter of luck.

Who can have such luck as one after another?

Therefore, they must have a new understanding of the enemy's combat effectiveness.

This is definitely not an ordinary enemy.

If they still face these enemies with pride and contempt.

Then they will never be able to defeat each other.

"That's all there is to it!"

The Wind Squire nodded and agreed to Ishida's suggestion.

In fact. At this time, he couldn't help but disagree.

Because he saw that the cavalry on the left and right flanks had begun to retreat.

In the process of retreating, the cavalry was being pursued by the enemy's cavalry.

And on the frontal battlefield, the enemy who had repelled the charge was light, and the neat ranks began to slowly press over.

In the middle of the battlefield, there was also a cavalry of the Southern Barbarians, numbering in the hundreds, who were constantly chasing and killing the archers. And the ashigaras who retreated.

With each swing of his sword, these barbarians would cut off the heads of the soldiers he was pursuing, and then use the tip of the knife to send their heads flying into the air, and then the other party would reach out and tie them to the saddle.

I don't know why these southern barbarians are so powerful. Their horsemanship was better than half of the cavalry, not just a cut and a half.

The retreating Ashigaru is a complete tragedy.

Not only did they have to face the enemy forces that were slowly pressing up from behind, but they also had to face the southern barbarian cavalry that was raging on the battlefield.

At this time, there are still two wings on the front of the crusading army, which can be regarded as completely finished.

"Are these guys all pigs? Even pigs are stronger than them! ”

After seeing the scene of the rout of the two wings. The wind servant cursed.

The defeat of the ashigaru in the frontal battlefield made him understand.

After all, the frontal enemy is still very powerful.

But. The cavalry on both flanks were also defeated, which made him incomprehensible.

You have to know the road, but the horses and the single wave of cavalry combined are almost 4,000 people.

After the two wings, there were basically two thousand people each.

And what about their enemies, that is, more than two thousand people, this is still more than a calculation.

At the same time, the enemy, in order to deal with them, also split the two thousand cavalry.

In this way, the Tajima and the single wave of cavalry faced the enemy cavalry separately, that is, the number of a thousand.

They are twice as many as the enemy.

In terms of troops, it has enough advantages.

Fighting the enemy's cavalry with such an advantage, the Wind Squire couldn't imagine that they could be defeated.

So these guys are not pigs or anything.

And after his observation, the enemy cavalry of these two thousand people was completely different from the cavalry of the hundreds.

The weapons they used were all cold weapons, and they didn't use a dozen trumpet-shaped 'iron cannons'.

Therefore, in terms of equipment, both sides are the same.

At the same time, in terms of troops, their own side also has an advantage.

Mom, how did they fail.

The Wind Squire wanted to break his head, and he couldn't understand these questions.

However, there was little time for him to think about these things now.

The defeat of the two flanks has already demoralized the crusading army, and now the battlefield is full of defeated soldiers.

These soldiers ran around like headless flies, and even the shouts of their own generals made them think they couldn't hear them when they regrouped.

Defeated!

It was a complete failure.

The enemy army that had routed the cavalry on both flanks began to pursue the defeated cavalry all the way.

In addition, the hundreds of cavalry of the southern barbarians on the battlefield also laughed wildly and pursued those ashigaru.

The infantry of the frontal enemy was pressing towards their own position step by step, and the wind squire did not have much choice at this time.

Now, there are only two paths in front of him.

One way is to take hundreds of their own flags and go to the battlefield to fight the enemy to the end.

However, if you do this, it will definitely not end too well.

The sharpness of the enemy's weapons, two battles in more than a day, he really felt it.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to choose this path, which is no different from sending him to death.

Since he can't choose this path, then he has only the last path.

Fall back!

To put it bluntly, it's just to run away.

It sounds like a retreat, but it's essentially a retreat.

However, the wind servant didn't know where he could retreat.

And where is the safest.

The enemy also has cavalry, so in the process of retreat, they will inevitably have to face the pursuit of the enemy.

"Retreat quickly, we won't have a chance when the enemy presses us." , Ishida said to the wind attendant with a frightened expression. At this time, Ishida seemed to have returned to that night, and the feeling of fear once again permeated his body.

These people are all Shura from hell.

"Where are we retreating? It's too chaotic on the battlefield now, and we still have to gather the rout. ”

The wind servant looked helpless, and anxiously shouted to Ishida Hedao.

"To Osaka Castle, we can retreat to Osaka Castle, the walls of Osaka Castle are very high and thick, and these enemies dare not catch up."

Ishida Aido said to the wind.

Going to Osaka Castle?

At this time, going to Osaka Castle is not an option.

The Wind Squire quickly made a decision.

"Good!"

However, the Wind Squire couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at the ashigaru people who were running around him, as well as the cavalrymen who were being chased and killed.

"What are these soldiers going to do? There's no way we're going to ignore them. ”

No one could have imagined that they were still in sight of victory last time, but in the blink of an eye, the situation took a turn for the worse.

It's only about fifteen minutes.

However, it gave them a taste of the feeling of ice and fire.

"Assign men to shout loudly in the rout, let them retreat to Osaka Castle, after all, they also have to eat, if they don't go to Osaka Castle then they will wait to be hungry."

Ishida came up with a solution to this problem.

At this time, this is a very good solution.

The Wind Squire nodded in agreement.

Then he sent some men and began to shout on the side of the rout.

And the wind servant and Ishida Aido, with the flagbook, began to retreat towards Osaka Castle.

When the crusading army began to retreat, Zhao Hongyu led the infantry and slowly chased after the crusading army.

Tokugawa Kayo, who was beside Zhao Hongyu, opened his mouth slightly, looking very cute and dumbfounded.

She really couldn't figure it out, it was very dangerous earlier, and the position was about to be broken through by the enemy.

But how did it happen that after a while, the situation of the battlefield battle was reversed?

It's really hard to figure out.

Don't...... That's the power of that 'grenade'?

Well, find a time to ask for one for this highness to study and study. (To be continued......)
